Broadfix Flat Plastic Window Glazing Packers are essential for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require precision alignment when installing windows, doors, and flooring systems. These high-quality shims provide a stable, load-bearing foundation that prevents movement and ensures long-term structural integrity; however, users should be aware that selecting the correct thickness is critical to avoid uneven stress distribution in frame installations.

Yes, they are weather-proof and rot-proof, making them ideal for exterior door and window installations.
No, they are engineered to hold significant structural weights without compressing, splitting, or cracking.
Yes, their high load capacity makes them an excellent choice for shimming flooring joists or systems.
Each shim measures 28mm x 100mm, with varying thicknesses between 1mm and 6mm.
The color-coding is designed for rapid identification of specific thicknesses, allowing for faster setup times on site.
Verify that the surface is clear of loose dust or debris that might interfere with the slip-resistant texture.
Re-measure the gap at multiple points and consider using a combination of thinner packers to achieve a more precise cumulative thickness.
Refer to the product packaging or your site guide to cross-reference the color-code for each specific thickness (1mm-6mm).
To achieve the best results, start by using a spirit level to identify the high and low points of your aperture or sub-floor. Select the appropriate thickness color-coded packer to compensate for any gaps, ensuring the load is distributed evenly across the surface of the shim. For heavier window or door installations, ensure that multiple packers are used across the base profile to prevent localized pressure points.
Storage is straightforward: keep them in a dry area to prevent dust or debris from compromising the slip-resistant texture. No special maintenance is required, as the plastic composition is inherently resistant to rot and environmental degradation.
